@Strand perhaps? ;)
He had left it behind for a little while, following in Moorhen's wandering tracks and hoping somewhere deep down in his soul that despite the unexpected and hasty departure of Seelie and her family the others might remain. It had been a silly dream, though, and he found himself facing that fact head-on as he stood at the head of the landbridge and wistfully sampled the wind. His ears perked and his brow furrowed deeply however, as he discovered that while there was no sign of his former packmates there was a distinct scent of strangers. It was a little difficult to disentangle just how many or how long they might have been here, but Driftwood was left wondering if perhaps Undersea had relinquished its claim just a little too soon, and if perhaps several castaways had found themselves unexpectedly washed up on Wheeling Gull's shores right after the pack that might have assisted and supported them had drifted away one by one.
Or else a couple of darker possibilities crossed his mind: he still remembered Aditya's incursion, after all. And was there perhaps a small possibility that Coelacanth might have been lured away deliberately...? Driftwood's normally open and smiling face was pensive and concerned as he moved across the connecting spit of sand with lowered head outthrust and slowly trotting paws skimming the sands they matched in color. His eyes darted to and fro, uneasily scanning the familiar and yet now-foreign landscape; it no longer smelled quite right, and the presence of unknown wolves there left him unsettled and, he had to admit, a little upset. He straightened and loosened up just a little when he finally caught a glimpse of one unknown canine from behind as they stood there on his beach—or, er, what had once been his beach.
Undersea's not here,he blurted aloud, and then stopped in his tracks, paws uneasily akimbo and shifting a little as if unable to find a comfortable spot to stand. ...Not quite the introduction he'd intended, but then again he wasn't quite sure what he really intended here. At least this stranger didn't seem to be pulling a full-on Aditya though from what he could tell? Driftwood supposed that ought to be at least somewhat reassuring to him.
